Just going to add to this, idk if this is a real Thunderbird aircraft but it was here at my base a few years back PS : if you look on the building in the far right on the top is one of the 9+ snipers who were there to protect two F-117's out for the show

That's a nice picture of the Talon.

That looks like a T-34 and i have no clue why it would have the Thunderbirds logo and number 1...lol. Unless it's just part of some kind of historical ground display

The plane in post three is called a Navion. It belongs to Dick Mcspadden. His son, Richard was the commander for the Thunderbirds for two seasons around 2002-2003. Dick took some liberties and added the insignia himself. He flew it to most all the air shows those two years. The Navion was built by North American after the war, and served as the L-17 for the Air Force.
